Spectrum is his pet (holographic) goldfish and a Broken Link. Dejaren was made into a dilemma by Decipher in the Holodeck Adventures expansion (included for comparison). Source: "Revulsion" [22] The Music is a joke about the "resonance chamber. I apologize. Source: "The Omega Directive" [23] Experimental ships get some bonuses through AtoZ cards. It's a shuttlecraft, so usable with Engage Shuttle Operations. Decipher's version came out in the Voyager expansion (included for comparison).

[D+ 16-20] Decker to Degora

The hits keep coming with a DS9 and a Chakotay! THE ENTRIES: [16] Decker [17] Decos Prime [18] "Deep Space Nine" [19] defender [20] Degora Street NOTES:  [16] Each Decker can only score 5 points no matter how many baseball-related cards are in play (cards that mention baseball in their lore, except him), but each Decker does score you the 5 points, so the ability is cumulative in that sense. Source: Referenced in "In the Cards" [17] It only requires one equipment to solve, but you may swap any number of equipment cards. Source: Referenced in "Treachery, Faith and the Great River" [18] The 6 sites are placed under the event in a random pile. Only personnel and ships who could normally report to the specific site can download to a site just like it in play, but regardless of its affiliation (since the event has none). So if you draw (then discard) Infirmary for example, you could download a MEDICAL either to your own Nor, or to your opponent's, regardles...

[D+ 11-15] Dax to Decibel

How about another Dax AND a Seven of Nine? THE ENTRIES: [11] Dax, Yedrin [12] Day of Honor [13] "Day of Honor" [14] de Neuf, Mademoiselle [15] decibel NOTES:  [11] When in play, Gaians can report anywhere in play without the need for an AU Door or Time/Space Portal. even outside Gamma quadrant. He is both a Klingon AND a joined Trill. Source: "Children of Time" [12] Say you had 3 personnel in your discard pile, and you opponent had 6, you would add 3 to your Klingons' STRENGTH for one full turn. In case of a tie, no one gets to boost their Klingons, but the discard and download still get done. Source: "Day of Honor" [13] You can't double up on Day of Honor (the Incident) by playing two on the same turn. Source: "Day of Honor" [14] I kept the 7s on the attributes as a homage to her former persona. This card is pack P3's frontpiece. Source: "The Killing Game" [15] In some cases, filters out humans, possibly leaving a very smal...

[D+ 6-10] Dammar to Dax

No, not THAT Damar, but a Dax and a Tom Paris! THE ENTRIES: [6] Dammar [7] Dark Time [8] Dauntless, USS [9] Davis, Bobby [10] Dax, Ezri Decipher's version for comparison: Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [6] An army of these makes for lots of intrusion, or you could just be using them to staff your far-away ships. Source: "Displaced" [7] Your opponent reporting an Emperor has the same discarding effect. Basically, the card downloads a personnel as long as you have a personnel in hand. Source: "You Are Cordially Invited" [8] As an NX (experimental) ship, AtoZ has at least one card to boost the Dauntless. This is the frontpiece card for the P4 pack. Decipher has its own Dauntless (The Borg expansion), included for comparison. Source: "Hope and Fear" [9] Reminder that holo-personae can only play when a Holodeck is present. Source: "The Killing Game" [10] This card is the frontpiece for pack P1. Decipher's later version, in the ...

I'll mention the frontpieces visible to the customer when they come up. THE ENTRIES: [1] da Vinci workshop program Janeway-7 [2] Daelen [3] Daleth [4] Dalmine Sector [5] Dalvos Prime NOTES:  [1] In a Nor's Holosuite, no matching commander would be possible.

Source: "Vis à Vis" [3] The special download is regenerated every time opponent decides on Honor OR Treachery for your personnel. If opponent never does ("may"), you may still use your special download once per game, as usual.

An Away Team attempting the mission with the alternate requirements discard any Space dilemmas encountered. Only space/planet and misseeded planet dilemmas can be encountered. Once solved from the inside, the points are scored and it may not be attempted from the outside. If Explore Dyson Sphere is destroyed (like, by a Supernova) or moved, the Incident is destroyed or moved along with it. Source: "Relics" [337] Source: Referenced in Star Trek: First Contact [338] Not an obvious one, though your Feds can attempt it with your NAs, leaving their ship dangerously unattended. Bluegills all have the Fed infiltration icon, but it only takes one where it would take two changelings. Source: "Conspiracy" Next up: We get Enhanced! Card...

Source: "A Fistful of Datas" [332] Points are valid even if the ship is landed. Source: Referenced in "Up the Long Ladder", pic from "Space Seed" [333] Note that killing a personnel with Coalescent Organism will also kill the Organism. It will not be passed off to the next personnel. Source: "Man of the People" [334] Any Scan card represents any card with the word Scan in the title. Outposts are space facilities even if at planet locations (in the way they work, regardless of image). Source: "Playing God" [335] Plays on Bajoran and Cardassian prisoners, Malcorians, victims of Alien Kidnapping, etc. to put them into play without having to attempt the mission. Personnel aboard a Cryosatellite are under a SPACE mission, sorry. ...

We got more metal to get through... THE ENTRIES: [326] duridium alloy [327] duritanium alloy [328] Durken, Chancellor Avel [329] Durst, Peter [330] dust shrouds NOTES:  [326] You can't double the damage of both damage counters on the same turn. Minuses to RANGE, WEAPONS, SHIELDS and HULL are all doubled. If a personnel had to die as part of the damage, two die instead. Source: Referenced in "By Inferno's Light"; pic from "Doctor Bashir, I Presume?" [327] For facilities, non-scouting objectives, et al., the mission is Space. For seeding dilemmas and sending Away Teams, it's planet. That means, the Borg must scout it like a planet to Establish Gateway there, for example. Space dilemmas do not seed here. Planetary Artifacts don't (they are not mentioned on the card). Source: "Dreadnought" [328] Durken may suspend First Contact's points (they do not count) if he is on the surface. He is seeded at Malcor III like Marista Yale and joins the A...

[D 321-325] Durantium to Durg

The toughest wall? Well, maybe not in the game... THE ENTRIES: [321] duranium [322] duranja (no card required) [323] Duras (no card required) [324] Durenia IV [325] Durg NOTES:  [321] On total hand weapon bonus: Two Disruptor Rifles (+6) would be enough to pass the wall, a regular Disruptor plus a Rifle (+5) would not. Source: Referenced all over Star Trek [322] Duranja was an event in the Deep Space Nine expansion. [323] Duras has had a card since the Basic Set. [324] This planet was just a destination the Enterprise was diverted from in "Remember Me". I made it a "what if" scenario in which Wesley decided to show off his static warp bubble experiment when they got there undiverted. Source: Referenced in "Remember Me" [325] Deuridium is a card in AtoZ [D185]. Source: "The Passenger" Next up: We got more metal to get through. Cards: Duranium Wall, Show Subspace Experiment, Durg

Going multi-genre... THE ENTRIES: [316] Dunlap, Nigel [317] duonetic field (no card required) [318] duotronic probe [319] duotronics [320] Durango Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [316] When Sniper is in play, its owner may probe at the site of a personnel battle. If Dunlap is at that location, THEN he can prevent the probe. Source: Referenced in "A Simple Investigation" (I've decided to cast him as Patrick Macnee, not just because he was Steed in The Avengers, but partnered with Bond in A View to a Kill - and can't you just see Odo playing this role?) [317] Already exists a planet dilemma in the Deep Space Nine expansion. [318] Classifications appearing as skills don't count here, so you could have an OFFICER with ENGINEER and an ENGINEER together (as a two-man Away Team) and still go on. "Mission attempt" means the Borg are immune to this. Source: "Fair Trade" [319] The original design talked about "time periods" and r...
